Louise Emmons
Biography
Louise Emmons was an American actress whose screen work ran from 1914 to 1935, largely in character parts. Accounts of her early life differ, and one places her birth in California. She worked for a time as a portrait artist, and she had reached an advanced age by the time she made her first silent picture, in 1914. One account described her face as one that could stop a clock, and she went on to appear in more than sixty-five films, mostly in small roles. She specialized in playing old hags, including the evil headmistress in the Our Gang short Mush and Milk (1933). The horror movie Mark of the Vampire (1935) was her final screen appearance, with Emmons as an old gypsy.
